Environmental variable `JULIA_PKG_SERVER` appears rather regularly in questions related to registry update issues (last example is [Updating extremly slow today](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/updating-extremly-slow-today/62112)). But where one can find documentation related to this variable?

My problem is that I am always forgetting the name of this variable and search in [https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/stable/](https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/stable/) and [Environment Variables · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/environment-variables/) does not return any results.

So, outside of answers to some discourse topics, where a regular person can find information about this variable and registry servers behaviour? It would be nice to have it easily discoverable in a form of FAQ or troubleshooting section of Julia/Pkg docs.

Note that the link to Pkg documentation is wrong, you should use [1. Introduction · Pkg.jl](https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1) instead

Oh, thank you. As always, that was google result, pity that it leads to wrong page. But why `stable` is `v1.1.2`? Is it intentional?
